Evaluating Procedure Pairing of a Post-Procedure Cream Versus a Comparator in Patients Treated With Fractional Ablative CO2 Laser for Facial Rejuvenation

This randomized, single-center, double-blinded, split-face, controlled clinical trial was conducted to investigate the tolerability, safety, and efficacy of a post-procedure cream when used immediately after fractional ablative CO2 laser treatment and for 14 days post-procedure with three times daily application in healthy female subjects aged 35 to 65 with moderate to severe global facial overall photodamage (score of 4 to 9 out of the 10-point Modified Griffiths\' scale). Furthermore, this clinical trial compared the active post-procedure cream to a comparator anhydrous formulation often paired with skin rejuvenation procedures. This is a cosmetic study with a FDA-regulated device. A total of 22 healthy female subjects completed the study.
